Statement+Exhibitions By: Unknown No comments

What is it that we are all looking for, up at the sky, out of backlit windows, through doorways, down the camera lens, in that double-take, and out of corners of our eyes? It feels like that elusive something is always just out of reach, melting away while the eye focuses.

Using loose ink drawings and low-res photography, I record incidental observations of everyday experiences, focusing on objects or sights that appear insignificant, obscure and idiosyncratic. These serve as starting points for cyclic processes through drawing, printmaking and painting in order to erode the cultural context and values we attach to visual imagery through social conditioning. Each cycle wears away prior meaning and new ones surface to fill the void. The resulting works feature abstract, organic vacillating forms which resist direct interpretation.
